All your arguments are actually one argument: you hate it that
it has no built-in GUI. And I can accept it, sure. Just use one that has
one. And works. As simple as that.
Or use ddd/kdbg/whatever if you don't hate them as much.
Don't if you don't. Use some other. Write your own.
Maintain your own. You do? Oh, great. Share it with others,
if you like.

Only, please don't tell everyone around that the debugger
is of low quality because you don't like its interface.
Just write that for you its UI is crappy. Do we have a deal? ;-)

You're point being...?
